Higdon to me today when told him I hope we know soon "contracts are a sticky thing"

Why does this still sound like buyout? dunno

I think this is the most likely reason for delay--negotiating the Morris buyout.

 

[LongviewLobo01]

Saw that. Interesting. Would have to mean that there's a buyout because if not I don't know what could be difficult about hiring a coach from another school. It happens all the time.

 

[BevoBlake]

It could be a number of things really, especially if whoever we're bringing in will be splitting OC duties with either Wickline or Watson. There would need to be some fine details within that contract, specifying what demands come with the position and what responsibilities are left out of the position. But it certainly could be a buyout.

 

[CardSID]

It could be they like playing with us like this.

Interesting, because I respect your opinion, but I can't believe we get Morris. It would make me quite happy if we did.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Every indication is that it's Morris but I refuse to get my hopes up.

Dizz, my friend, you remain a prisoner of hope.

 

[DFW Hornsfan]

Sure sounds like Morris. But it sure sounded like Saban also.

Wouldn't Morris coach the QB's?

Where would that leave Watson?

Same here. Even if it is, its taking too long. We need to be out in peoples homes tomorrow. They still need a few days to get on the same page.

Im still holding out hope for Brewster.

thanks for the kind words. I am not saying that is what is going on, but it is a plausible explanation.

 

[Topstarr]

no one wants this JOB of OC.

 

[GoHornsGo90]

I don't think I've ever seen an offensive coaching staff hired in a more confusing, mind-boggling, and ass-backwards manner as the one we've seen over the past two weeks. Most of it seems to stem from Watson being QBs coach and Wickline possibly wanting to be co-OC, limiting our ability to hire whomever needs to be hired as OC, which should have ALWAYS been the first priority. Nonsensical.

 

[Tulsahorn]

There are no facts on the hiring process known

False. Many of the hires were confirmed by LHN and the UT staff directory itself. And, assuming we are/were actually still looking for an OC, this was not the way to go about it. If we were planning on Wickline or Watson as OC from the outset, that obviously is self-defeating already.

I think it's only appeared that way to people who know nothing on message boards. Insiders have been mostly cut off. In reality it's prob been much smoother as strong is in total control

It is not Morris per all of his buddies in/around LT.
